Meaning of feedback in educational assessment and evalution
Answers
Answer:
Assessment is the process of gathering information in order to make a determination about a student’s learning.
Evaluation is the process of judging or putting a value on a procedure, the degree to which knowledge has been gained, or a skill.
Feedback is a method of providing information about a student’s learning or skill acquisition in order to plan future learning goals and to ameliorate behaviour and skills.
The main objectives of feedback are to:
justify to students how their mark or grade was derived
identify and reward specific qualities in student work
guide students on what steps to take to improve
motivate them to act on their assessment
develop their capability to monitor, evaluate and regulate their own learning (Nicol, 2010).
To benefit student learning, feedback needs to be:
Constructive: As well as highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of a given piece of work, it should set out ways in which the student can improve the work. For the student, it:
encourages them to think critically about their work and to reflect on what they need to do to improve it
helps them see their learning in new ways and gain increased satisfaction from it
helps promote dialogue between staff and students.
Timely: Give feedback while the assessed work is still fresh in a student’s mind, before the student moves on to subsequent tasks.
Meaningful: It should target individual needs, be linked to specific assessment criteria, and be received by a student in time to benefit subsequent work. Effective feedback:
